I’ve been making a concerted effort to consider new color palettes lately in thinking about a balance of colors for our house.  I tend to relate to textures more than colors, which is why vintage photographs that mix fashion and decor really speak to me.   I love the floral print, gold hardware, velvety robe with fur collar, as well as the pop of yellow (and white piping) and the acrylic tray.  Wish I started my day like this every morning!  Thanks to the “Monocled Miss” in Slim Aaron’s 1964 photograph inspired today’s color palette.

All paints from Benjamin Moore, except for "Gold Parlor" by Ralph Lauren

P.S. I’m thinking about turning these vintage photograph-inspired color palettes into a regular feature on the blog.  Chime in and let me know what you think!
